Timing is important. When Anne and I met we were in college, we were both single, and we were both open to being in a romantic relationship. We sometimes joke that had we met in high school we would not have dated. A few years in college had transformed us from the people we had been in high school. Jesus didn’t begin his ministry until John had completed his ministry. The first thing that Jesus said, was to make the claim that the timing was right. Jesus proclaimed that at that moment, God was doing something new. The kingship of God in the world was being revealed through Jesus. Everything that follows in this story of Jesus is built around this idea, it’s time for good news to come from God; good news that God’s kingship of the world has begun.
